I don't think anyone would think twice about this particular policy in isolation if the same people now worrying about the cost of LLMs didn't spend the last 6 months pushing their developers to use LLMs as much as possible (and in some cases, firing their coworkers claiming they weren't needed anymore because of LLMs).
